Hello everybody!!!, I'd like to know if there another way to get the
time from a timestamp type, because in earliest versions I just get the
time like time(fecha) and now this returns an error, thanks in
advanced!!!!!!!

Am I missing something? Is there a reason not to simply cast the
timestamp value to time?
test=> select cast(now() - date_trunc('day', now()) as time);
time
---------------------
11:19:19.8921250105
(1 row)
test=> select now()::time;
now
-----------------
11:19:19.892125
(1 row)
test=> select cast(now() as time);
now
-----------------
11:19:19.892125

Nope. I had thought that the question came up because a straight cast
didn't work so I gave the first work around I thought of.

The time type takes an optional precision:
test=> select now()::time;
now
-----------------
11:36:34.124678
(1 row)
test=> select now()::time(0);
now
----------
11:36:34
(1 row)
test=> select now()::time(2);
now
-------------
11:36:34.12
(1 row)

I think the OP was trying to use the functional cast syntax
time(now())
which worked long ago, but has not since we added the
SQL-spec time precision syntax.

I was referring to the expression that Rod Taylor posted, wondering
if there was some subtlety I was missing or if Rod simply didn't
think of the simpler solution (Rod responded indicating the latter).

So I don't open a new thread..
I have a table with a column of type TIMESTAMP.
In output, I need to format it.. what's the best way to do it?
So, for instance, how could I format it so that it would output as YY-MM-DD
HH:MM?
Regards,
Tadej

See to_char() in the "Data Type Formatting Functions" section
of the "Functions and Operators" chapter in the documentation.
